STEVE & ANNIE

I love that Steve reached out for a photo shoot. I wasn't shooting much for the blog the past couple years but with much patience from Steve I eventually met up with him and Annie for a really inspiring day of photos. Their interest in art and design made conversation easy. I had a rare moment of bike envy when he pointed out his spoke configuration and morbidly quiet belt drive (resulting in this rare moment of actual gear talk). The last note we left on was that they had to get back home to tend to a pizza crust they were waiting on. // Location: Out and About, Downtown, Vancouver, Canada // d.

FRIDAY FRIEND CHIC: MELISSA

A couple weeks ago I asked my style co-conspirator Melissa if she'd help with the Takaokami Rainwear show at Vancouver Fashion Week. A bit of biking, catching up, beer and wine, and checking out some fashion opened my eyes to the fact that I don't see her nearly enough. This open and honest East Van mom writes about bike lifestyle, city life, and family at Velo Family Diaries. Have a read and follow her at @VeloFamilyYVR. // Location: Ontario bike route, Vancouver, Canada // d.
